About ETT files

A .ETT file is a proprietary spreadsheet template created by WPS Office Spreadsheets (formerly known as Kingsoft Spreadsheets). It stores default formatting, formulas, cell styles, macros, and page layouts. This allows users to generate multiple identical spreadsheets - like invoices, expense reports, or schedules - without recreating the core document structure each time.

While WPS Office is the primary software used to open and edit these files, the format is strictly bound to the Kingsoft ecosystem. This is a common problem in modern workflows. Sharing a .ETT file is highly problematic because users without the specific WPS software installed cannot open it. The format lacks native support in web browsers and Google Sheets. When forced open in Microsoft Excel, these templates frequently suffer from broken formatting, missing formulas, or unreadable macros. It effectively locks your boilerplate data behind a proprietary wall.

To ensure compatibility, you must convert the file. For seamless editing across all modern spreadsheet software, convert your .ETT file to XLSX. If you only need to extract the raw tabular data without the visual formatting, convert to CSV. To distribute a finalized, uneditable version for archiving or printing, convert to PDF.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ETT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
